From Alabama
URM
Without including Ecs, how would this look to Princeton?</p>
<p>Like all of their other candidates.</p>
<p>You can’t be a shoe-in for an ivy league …or anywhere for that matter. I know people with scores and/or GPA’s much, much higher than mine who were denied from my local state university.</p>
<p>Not a shoe-in, but a much better shot than most applicants</p>
<p>Ivies routinely say no to ~ 80% of valedictorians, those with 800s English and ~3/4 of those with an 800 in Math.</p>
<p>In other words, your excellent stats put you in competition but don’t mean you’re in.</p>
<p>P.S. It’s “shoo-in” :-)</p>
<p>hahahaha shoe-in</p>
<p>Almost no one is a shoe-in at Ivies. Or a shoo-in.</p>
<p>
Yeah, how would you even get a whole league? Especially one of the Ivy ones.</p>
<p>You do have a good shot, though. Much better than most, I’d say, assuming you aren’t “leaving out” activities because you have none. Good luck.</p>

<p>^ I am not a ■■■■■.</p>
<p>Most of my Ecs will be junior year because of financials and I might be moving again. Thanks for giving me some insight!</p>
<p>ECs are a large part of getting into an Ivy.</p>
<p>bump…</p>
<p>Does being from Alabama help?</p>
<p>People from Alabama don’t wear shoes</p>
<p>^Unnecessary.</p>
<p>And it can help to be from Alabama, seeing as how they want diversity and I’m assuming less people apply from Alabama than other places like New York or something.</p>
